This report describes the findings from a series of interpretive planning meetings conducted with the Friends of Rich Hill Steering Committee by interpretive planning consultant Dean Krimmel. It is hoped that the contents will help guide decision making about the interpretation of Rich Hill, a historic site best known as a stop on John Wilkes Booth’s flight from justice following his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
The timing of the report is noteworthy. Over the next several years, the Charles County Government will be leading an effort to stabilize and preserve Rich Hill. The Friends of Rich Hill, meanwhile, will be working to raise public awareness and appreciation of this National Register of Historic Places property — that is, to begin interpreting Rich Hill.
The Friends of Rich Hill are grateful and happy to accept new members. Your support directly aids the preservation of this historic Maryland landmark.
